Janus, God of New Beginnings and
Guardian of the Gates
Obverse:
Head of
Janus
Reverse:
Roma, goddess of Rome, standing left erecting trophy.
In Roman religion and mythology,
Janus was the god of gates, doorways, beginnings and endings.
As such, he was worshiped during the planting of crops, marriages, births or on any occasion that connoted an important beginning.  The month of January, the first month of the year, is named for Janus.  As the spirit of doorways, his bust or figure is found on
gates and doorways to protect the entrance and the inhabitants.
The obverse of this coin features a bearded
Janus with two faces, one looking forward to the future and one looking backward to the past as through a gateway.
The reverse side of the coin is the goddess Roma, who personified the glory of the Roman Empire.  She is shown holding a wreath and a scepter while erecting a trophy.  This scene is referring to the defeat of a Celtic tribe in 120 BC and the annexation of a new Roman Province.
